I feel that presenting a bunch of DAGs does tie it in to Computer Science for sure. Graphs are an integral part of Computer Science, and to present it from that perspective does make it more "Computer Science-y".
I agree that to assume that only Computer Scientists (or people who have majored in Computer Science degree) understand what a DAG is, is elitist.
What exactly does it mean to be a computer scientist? I'd say if this article is accessible to you, it's reasonable to call you some sort of computer scientist, even if you don't have a degree, or aren't necessarily an authority on the subject.

I sort of disagree.
